    The Tri-fecta and The Traditional Breakfast
    Maricel J.

    Hubby and I decided to come here for breakfast. It's located in Ravinia Plaza, with ample parking. The staff are warm and welcoming -- we were greeted as soon as we arrived. Even though it was packed, our wait was maybe about 10 minutes, give or take. The ambiance is bright and airy with modern decor. The waiting area has a self-serve coffee station, which is a wonderful touch. Like some other patrons, we were not served water when we sat down. I did see some water on a few tables, and maybe patrons need to ask. Our server, Reegan, was pleasant. They brought a carafe of coffee and said it comes from Colombia. Love how strong it is. Hubby ordered The Tri-fecta with a pancake and smoked ham. I ordered The Tradtional Breakfast with chicken sausage and toast. We both enjoyed our meals. This is a wonderful neighborhood staple. We will definitely be back.

    2nd Day in business! Waiting space has coffee. Very nice.

    Welcome to the neighborhood! Day 2 of First Watch in Orland, IL and I know that I am excited to have this wonderful establishment close to home. This is the 2nd location in the entire state of Illinois, and I find it exciting. Now, let's hop into this review. As mentioned, this is DAY 2 of this establishment being open. So, I really wanted to observe. Come in and get one of my new favorite bites and enjoy all that was offered. I kept in mind: This location just opened. Be kind, enjoy:) It is REALLY cute inside. Cozy, welcoming. Opening week brings free coffee for all. YAY! So nice! I went in with one thing on my mind; Lemon Ricotta Pancakes. I ordered this pancake as part of what is called their "Tri-fecta". 2 eggs, 2 pieces of meat your choice (I selected chicken sausage) and one multigrain pancake (the lemon ricotta, OMG). This pancake came with fresh strawberries and was lightly dusted with powdered sugar. I asked for maple syrup just in case I needed a lil kiss of buttery yummers. My date ordered Barbacoa Breakfast Tacos. 3 came in the order, with a side of black beans and avocado. Lucky for me, I got the side of green loving (avocado). The Million Dollar Bacon was a side order. It is truly a sweet smoky bacon treat, with a kick of spice. DO TRY IT! I had a cup of coffee that was stronger than CAPTAIN AMERICA! Yet yummers! We arrived after 12p and we had plenty of time to eat, talk with neighbors at the table right next to us and allow our food to digest. This restaurant is a wonderful establishment. I have visited their Oakbrook, IL location several times, and it is truly a nice place for breakfast/lunch. Farm to table. Fresh and delightful. It truly is that simple and easy. I hope others will find their way and make a big fuss about First Watch. Go in, ask about their story as to how this business was established. It will warm your heart. I will say, what I WOULD have liked from this experience: To be offered water at the table. An Explanation of the menu/specials. THIS location, to have had the server explain much of anything. She was just rushing along, the entire time. Everything was a rush. Disappointing, but the kinks will work out. I am sure of it. Again, HAPPY to have First Watch in Orland, IL. A nice addition to what we already have, and I am happy about it. YAY for LEMON RICOTTA PANCAKES! Make this establishment a part of your breakfast hot spots! It is a great place, with great history, they really give back to others in more ways than one. And as always, you don't have to take my word for it....GO GET YOU SOME!

    French toast substituted banana for offered fruit

    We came on a Saturday morning and they were very busy. We were able to get on a waitlist online which helped our wait. We started with the donuts which were really good and are offered free on a coupon when you sign up. The food was really fresh and delicious. They seem to be geared towards healthy and fresh. The decor was inviting. Very open concept and was loud. Staff were friendly, quick and accommodating.

    Iced coffee
    Sameera B.

    Came here for brunch and was seated pretty quickly on a weekday. Tried their strawberry tres leche French toast which was a popular item but not a fan of it. Also tried their caramel iced coffee which tasted very off but mint mocha coffee was soo much better. The service was great.

    Food was good but pricey. Service was very good. The ambience is nice and low key. This place gets very busy on the weekends.

    Grand opening, reservations only . Very crowded. Anticipating the arrival of food . Getting the Bacado Omelet .

    BEC with million dollar potatoes
    Erica R.

    The food was great and service was excellent! We entered and were greeted with open doors. Everyone was so friendly and attentive. Can't wait to come back and try more items on the menu!

    Rustica
    Denise M.

    First time at the First Watch in Orland Park and it was delicious. I had the Rustica and the Lemon Ricotta pancakes. The service was good as well.

    Food

    The food was verv tasty. The decor and vibe was very inviting. The lemon pancakes were perfection. I also ordered turkey sausage gravy eqgs and biscuits delicious. I had ginger,beets,tumeric juice excellent. The only negative thing about this place is that they have small portions and a bit overpriced. Also, the server was friendly but didn't check in on us much to see if we needed anything. This is a new place and I'm sure w time improvements will be made.

I started with the salted caramel latte and it was perfection (as someone who likes a little coffee with their sugar). I wanted to try everything but since it was my 1st time just went with a standard 2 egg breakfast, which one really can't get wrong, and the White Sheep definitely didn't. Everything was cooked well and potatoes were really really good. The pancakes are pretty large so providing one as a side is actually so much better than 2 or 3 cakes. My mom had the steak and eggs and that serving size was so generous with the prefect cook. Well worth the price, imo. We LOVED this place and will be visiting again. Additionally, my mom had a to go box which she accidentally left behind which we didn't realize until after we left. Luckily, we were only like five minutes away, so she called the restaurant and explained the situation so we were able to go back and grab it because no one had thrown her food away, thankfully..

The inside is quite large with a donut & coffee counter by the front entry, plenty of seating for all group sizes, open kitchen, and fun sheep decor. Overall, the acoustics weren't the best as the space got pretty loud. I started with the White Sheep Latte (one of their more popular) and thought it was good. It came out very hot and I ended up taking half of it to go which was nice they offered that. For food, I got the Biscuits & Gravy which comes with a side. Only the Roasted Potatoes & French Fries are offered as a side without an upcharge. It'd be nice to include something else like their fruit cup for no additional charge. My husband got the Southwest Omelet which also came with a side choice and carb choice (toast, pancakes, donut for upcharge). Our meals were good overall and come out of the kitchen rather quickly. Our server, Jessica, seemed a bit flustered with the breakfast crowd but remained cheerful, polite, and attentive. Pricing was fair for what we ordered and the menu had a good variety of options. Pro Tip: Join the waitlist ahead of time off their website to avoid long wait times.

I must say the experience in Lake Geneva was better. We visited the Orland Park location on a Wednesday around 10am and it was pretty crowded, and the service was ridiculously slow. Although our server was nice, he was waiting on multiple tables, more than normal. I'm guessing that either some staff called off, or they are always short during the week. Let's get to the food. I had a Strawberry Crunch French Toast. The concept was good, but it really needed some fresh strawberry syrup instead of the maple syrup that was served to me. I got a side of hashbrowns, which ended up being home fries, which I'm not a fan of. I prefer actual hashbrowns or smothered potatoes. The hubby had the create your own omelette with maple bourbon bacon, chicken and spinach. He enjoyed that, but also wasn't a fan of the home fries. Now, I actually came for the apple cider mimosa. The champagne overpowered the apple cider flavor, but it was a nice try.
